Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I just purchased a new Mac and I am trying to download my previously purchased songs. I am only getting a portion of each song though. What is happening and how do I fix it?

I just purchased a Mac and downloaded my previously purchased songs from iTunes, however it only downloaded a portion of the song (about 1:15) and this appears to be the same on all of the songs. What is happening and how can I fix it?

iPod nano, iOS 6.1.3

Hello Pork Chop 2,


Congratulations on your new Mac! It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them. I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:


Symptoms


Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.


Resolution


If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:


  1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
  2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
  3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
